My John Carver hotel stay was great
Pros:

The location of the property was close walking distance to the harbor. The hotel had an older feel to it but loved the character and charm of it

Cons:

They were in the process of remodeling so no restaurant at the time we stayed but they’re about a month from opening it

Pros:

The location was convenient

Cons:

The room was dirty, spilled coffee down the night stand, and dirty silverware behind the bed. The room also smelt so strong like cigarettes. We were also missing the tv remote.

Fair - WHY DID THIS INN CHARGE $10 FEE FOR BOOKING THROUGH BOOKING.COM - PLEASE REFUND THIS
Cons:

THE HOTEL CHARGED AND EXTRA $10 BECAUSE RESERVATION WAS MADE THROUGH BOOKING.COM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE REASON FOR THIS AND REFUND.
No wastebasket in bathroom. Place was more like an ordinary motel and not like what it's name implies

Not as relaxing as I had planned.
Pros:

The rooms were comfortable and there was good parking.

Cons:

The hot tub was not disabled or elderly compliant so I could not access it. In the first room the tv did not work and there was no one to come and fix it. We were moved to the second room. The next evening the roof over our room was leaking so we were moved to the third room. I was not offended any compensation for all of these problems. It was also difficult to get housekeeping. The restaurant was also closed due to renovations.

Great Place
Pros:

The only reason i gave a "3" for value, is the price is a bit high (but not higher than other hotels). i just don't like having to pay a lot of money to just sleep.

Pros:

Lovely location , nice hotel . Pool is nice

Cons:

We checked in and the front desk said slide was open until 7 . The lifeguard closed it at 6:30 and left . So my kids only got 25 minutes with it . The pool then became so cold after . They are doing renovations so it is loud and in disrepair in halls .
